Former Disney stars Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez starred in the controversial movie, alongside James Franco who played Alien.

According to TMZ, Riff Raff claims that Franco's character was based on his rap persona, and is seeking money in damages.

He explained: "It's like if I have a front yard. And you're planting soil and you're planting trees and building peaches and houses and selling parking lots on my property ... then I deserve to be compensated for some portion of that money."

Riff Raff apparently plans to seek between $8 million and $10 million (£5.3 million and £6.6 million) in damages.
